I don’t know much about World Vision but could this “reversal” be about money (donations) possibly drying up?

to late Worldly Vision, you showed your true colors. Just in it for the money not serving Christ crucified. Homosexuality is an abonimation to God. World Vision sold out to a worldly vision.

Too late WV.

You already showed your hand.

Another sell-out Christian organization that will get $0.00 from me.

I want to know: Will the federal government let them off the hook for continuing to use a biblical hiring policy, or will they have to replace the big percentage of their income (17 percent) that they get from government grants? (That’s what this was mostly about.)

‘Never Mind!’ they said. This may end up like the Organization to fight breast cancer went through when they wanted to get rid of Planned Parenthood as a main beneficary of their collected money. Some women never ‘forgave’ them for it. Some remarks or proposals once stated, cannot be retracted, because one’s true opinion is now known.

They need to reveal which board members and executives drove the decision. And they need to get them out of the company.

Too late for me! It’s Samaritan’s Purse from now on when there is an international tragedy.

I’ve posted this a dozen times in other threads, their 2011 financial statements: http://www.worldvision.org/resources.nsf/Main/annual-review-2011-resources/$FILE/ar2011-audited-financial-statement.pdf page 3, Public Cash and Food Commodity Grants. So this sounds like it could be the government and corporations.

This article points to problems WV has had with expenses and grants, layoffs, etc.

Okay....the following was from a pastor. This pastor is conservative, a firearms owner, and preaches Christ and Him crucified.

Here is your tough question for the day: Imagine, if you will, a slight twist to the Schindler's List story. As we all know, Schindler and the Nazis both benefited from doing business together. We also know that Schindler had a higher calling. Schindler was using his own power and money to save as many children as possible from the Nazi gas chambers. But here is the twist. Schindler is running low on funds. He comes knocking on your door, explains his plight and asks for a donation. From this meeting you know two things; 1. Schindler is doing business with the Nazis, 2. Schindler is attempting to save children's lives.
You are faced with this decision. Simply, do I or do I NOT donate to his cause?

>>”We are asking for your continued support...”<<

Finally, and in the last paragraph of the press release, they reveal the real reason for this change of heart. Money talked and WV listened.

They passed the offering plate and it came back empty.

Be nice if they made the decision because it was the right one, not because Christians stopped giving to them.
